Asian Americans Advancing Justice has created an official K-12 curriculum to accompany the new PBS series Asian Americans. This document is a crowdsourced book list designed to support elementary and middle school educators and to supplement other existing resources, and in the spirit of the documentary there is an emphasis on books by #OwnVoices. Resources by individuals who are featured in the PBS series are noted with an asterisk (*) and books are linked to the publisher whenever possible. If you have a resource that you would like to recommend for inclusion, please fill out this form.

How to use this spreadsheet: Each episode has its own tab below. This master tab provides general resources and acknowledges contributors. As the series could not include every history/topic related to vast diversity of Asian America, there is a seventh tab for resources for Asian American topics NOT included in the PBS series.
